On Sunday, the New York Times ran an article a news release by global warming skeptic Marc Morano,communications director for the Republicans on the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, ranking member James Inhofe, R-OK, telling us that Global Warming has been supplanted by Global Cooling. Some of those who waited in the cold and snow to vote in Ohio on Tuesday might be inclined to agree.
I hope that some of those foot-stampers might have been able to read a Tuesday article in the Associated Press describing the stresses caused by the current "warmest winter ever" in Northern Europe, dark and rainy, with muddy roads and ice-skating races canceled. In France, it's the sunniest winter in more than fifty years.
Facts - so stubborn, so contrary, so inconvenient. But then Republicans have no use for facts anyway.
